Earticle

This paper aims to review the Roland Joffe’s film of The Scarlet Letter and compare it with the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is said that the film is “freely adapted from the novel.” It contains erotic scenes before the novel and shows the quite different endings followed by the witch trial and the Indian attack on the Puritan society. Joffe changes a lot from the novel. Is it the worst remake of the novel? Or does it suggest to examine the novel compared to the film? This paper rereads the novel in view of feminism focused on Hester and Mrs. Hibbins, and examines it in view of post-colonialism focused on the description of Indians. The author of the 19th-century wrote the novel set in the 17th-century Puritan society. He couldn’t insist on the feminism and post-colonialism overtly because of his limits of the social and historical context.
